ReplyDeleteTricky.

Feverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty)
ReplyDeleteThere really is no contest. Feverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty) it must be!
ReplyDeleteI like "Never Mind the Mynocks", personally, but it should have a tagline to be more true to the original Sex Pistols title. Something like "Never Mind the Mynocks, Here's the Sci-Fi Songster!"
ReplyDeleteChris actually added that in his suggestion. It was supposed to read "Never Mind The Mynocks, Here's John Anealio!"
DeleteThis is my pick as well.
DeleteFeverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty)
ReplyDeleteLazer Zombie Robot Love.
ReplyDeleteNo question! :-D
Laser Zombie Robot Love
ReplyDeleteFeverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty)
ReplyDeleteGenrephenia
ReplyDeleteI have to go with Genrephenia.
ReplyDeleteFeverishly Moisturizing
ReplyDeleteLaser Zombie Robot Love
ReplyDeleteLaser Zombie Robot Love is clearly the winner.
ReplyDeleteMusic is Coming ft. George R.R. Martin Is Not Your Bitch and 19 Other Songs of Ice And Fire
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Laser Zombie Robot Love.
ReplyDeleteFeverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty)
ReplyDeleteAlthough Karin's is a close runner up.
Feverishly Moisturizing (by Mur Lafferty)
ReplyDeleteWhile Laser Zombie Robot Love is very tempting, as someone who listened to Classic Rock before the "Classic" tag came along BECAUSE I WAS ALIVE THEN, I think I have to go with Paul Kemp's suggestion, Genrephenia.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. :-)
DeleteOh I'm torn between Music is Coming, Laser Zombie Robot Love, and The Official Songbook of An Internet Bard....
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go for Laser Zombie Robot Love
It is indeed a difficult choice. :-) Thanks for voting!
Delete'Laser Zombie Robot Love' is a very appealing title. But 'The Official Songbook of an Internet Bard' is the one that best describes you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aldo!
DeleteI say "Never Mind the Mynocks" because it's fun to say. It's short and has a bit of assonance. And the art looks like you might be shooting at mynocks. Second choice is "The Official Songbook of an Internet Bard" because even if it takes a bit longer to say, it's cool, and what else matters?.
ReplyDeleteI think "Never Mind the Mynocks" is a great title. I don't know why you have to call it a bit of an ass though. :-)
DeleteLaser Zombie Robot Love (by Chuck Wendig). Catchy, not too wordy and can be referred to in tweets as the LZRL album.
ReplyDeleteGot to be Geek Tunes. Bonus points if you can get a Carpathia song in there.
ReplyDeleteChuck's
ReplyDeleteGenrephenia!
ReplyDeleteNever Mind the Mynocks!
ReplyDeleteThe Official Songbook of An Internet Bard sounds lovely. Almost voted for Geek Tunes, because yay for simplicity! but the words "internet bard" just sound too awesome.
ReplyDeleteLaser Zombie Robot Love, followed closely by GeekStar/Geek Tunes (tied)
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for Laser Zombie Robot Love. The longer titles are too long, and the shorter ones don't grab me.
